I don't know... I agree with neither side of the argument here. On one hand, this is one of the most disrespectful things you could do. The poppy is a symbol of remembrance and peace, and to burn it shows a breathtaking lack of respect for British soldiers dead and alive. On the other, these ****** right wing morons saying that they should be killed have little intelligence and even less sense.
My view, I think, finally comes down to this. Yes, they were wrong to do it. Yes, they should well have been punished. But in the end, they haven't gone around actually attacking people. However flawed and disrespectful their views may be, they are entitled to air them because this is a free country, and freedom is one of the cornerstones of what attracts them to here in the first place. We set a law to follow, and in this case we follow it: they should be punished with due severity, but deportation or killing is ridiculous.
Also, if I hear one more person talk about burning the Qur'an or in any way attacking Islam I will go clinically insane. Not only does it increase their hate, but it is disrespectful to the entire, mostly moderate, Islamic world and culture. Responding to stupidity with stupidity is what leads to war, and loss of life. The poppies are there so that we can remember those who died in stupid wars. We need not give humans more reasons to hate, more reasons to kill. They hate, we mediate, and eventually this will be sorted out. We hate, they hate, people die, more hate, eventually warfare. It's simplistic, yes, but it's also the way these things start. And let us remind ourselves that at this very moment we possess the most efficient killing machines in history. We have the power to turn the world into a radioactive smoking crater. So let's not hate, let's live in harmony, and the first step towards harmony is tolerance. Listen to their views, disagree, if they do something like this explain our views and punish them in a way that is acceptable and just. These are just extremists, so let's not tar them all with the same brush, because that only ever leads to bad places.
but they should **** off to their own country... we didnt ruin divali or anythin what they celebrate... tbh they desevre all treatment they got... EDL just for them troublemakers
Aaand this is my point. Way to tolerate, mate. Diwali is a Hindu festival. If you're going to hate, at least know what you're hating on.
